How many "would've been great" fights did Ref Joe Cortez ruined?

[Ekscape]

Yes, and there's a very good reason for that: Prior to the Mayweather/Hatton fight Cortez TOLD Hatton he wasn't going to get away with his usual b.s. This was because the Mayweather camp had him look into it. And rightfully so! Hatton was notorious for holding and hitting, and excessive clinching! He did the RIGHT THING. Case closed.

exactly just like ****m complained before the fight to Kenny Bayless about Floyd pushing off with his forearm and using his elbows and Kenny Bayless was very stern with Floyd about doing so during the fight... I guess Kenny Bayless ruined the fight and changed the outcome *yeah right

If the Ref does not allow for a boxer to fight his kind of fight, How the hell can you be able to win.

You have to fight your fight within the rules. Man, I can't believe you'd post such ridiculous ****. Saying the precision is more associated with Manny than Floyd? Actually blaming the ref for Hatton getting his arse handed to him? Do you even watch boxing or do you just talk out of your ass?

Theres was only one way Ricky was going to win that fight, on the inside and that fool Cortez played Floyds gameplan

Yeah right. He wouldn't have won that fight on the inside, outside, or on Mars. He would not, could not, and never will beat someone of Floyd's caliber. Get over it. Hatton was a fraud from day one. He was exposed by Luis Collazo, and from that point forward, he wasn't really hard to figure out. If Kosta wasn't so old, and unmotivated he woulda' whooped Hatton's ass into oblivion. And if you wanna' see a biased referee, just watch Dave Parris in Manchester on that night. A disgrace if I ever saw one. No wonder Kosta quit: It's kinda' hard to beat your opponent AND the referee. Never have I seen a fighter get away with so much holding and hitting, and just general roughhouse tactics in one fight in my life. Bernard Hopkins would be proud.

Exactly. and that Brit hating cortez knows when to interfere.

surgically picking opponents apart is Manny's expertise. Stop associating this phrase w/ Floyd

just wait and see how floyd surgically picks manny apart----coz it's happening---that i promise you----

Bayless is the best 3rd man around, IMO

[Canelo Phresh]

The boxing world can only hope that no referee will follow on the footsteps of one biased Joe Cortez who seemed overly eager to steal the spotlight from the fighters themselves.

Hatton has a point when he was recently saying he wants to fight floyd again . He knows that he only lost to Floyd because Cortez decided that Hatton should not be allowed to fight his fight.

Cortez also took too much pity for @ss-****d Lorenzo that he actually awarded him the victory against Soto.

Cortez hatred towards undefeated British fighters is so obvious. the Hatton issue is proof enough but there was also the Hopkins-Calzaghe fight wherein he actually did a 180 turn from his overly-intrusive way officiating in favor of Hopkins. But as successful as he was in ruining the Hatton fight, he failed to manipulate the bhop-Calzaghe fight



Are there any other big fights wasted by Joe Cortez ?

seriously which ******* are you alt?

[Mr. Mandingo]

Seriously, stop asking the same question over again. Only shows how you cant think of anything else to post
